Guru is a teacher. Why people start worshiping them? No Guru has patentable discovery. All techniques are in the scriptures and these Gurus give it to us in new packaging.

One need to learn from the learned, meaning from one who has learned it ahead of your time. Does this make him HOLY GOD?

People get trapped in kinder garden preschools and never graduate to Universities. Like KG schools these gurus and their cults start you in the path of evolution of the inner kind. But after the KG this journey has to be undertaken by the individual discovering his inner self. But persons get struck in KG Class awed by the KG Teacher and if one realises (if ever) that he has wasted his life time at the Guru's foot or his door step - who is to be blamed.

Rules of the game for those who dare to go near these GURUs
1. Take what you can from these gurus
2. Never get branded
3. Never surrender and join the cult
4. Never promote any guru or cult
5. Move on or move in

Be Happy

Business tips to become a Swamiji

Found a nice compilation of tips to help one to become a successful Swamiji.

http://jvenugop.wordpress.com/2010/03/07/how-to-be-a-successful-swami/

And read my comments in that story

Build a membership drive (coin a suitable word – like shisyas etc) with clear targets for states/countries.

Carefully recruit free manpower called shisyas/volunteers.

If possible grab the properties of shisyas before they are admitted and make them penniless so that they get struck to your gang.

Carefully brand them with unique robes and color schemes.

Build barriers and hierarchy of failed seekers – who in turn will ensure new recruits are kept in the dark with few darshans. (thanks Dilbert)

Plant people in meetings to send questions which will never get straight answers.

Use phrases like “True but not true” “beyond reason” “uncomprehensible to rational mind” “ying yang” “Tao Zen Buddha etc”

When you look at the free labour they get, billions amassed, free publicity, free travel and stay, Infinite earnings per share invested, schools of management from Harvard etc should start a course on Swamijiship (also known as CONJOB)
